The two South Korean based carmakers, Kia and Hyundai, are reportedly shaking hands for a future and final production of the already unveiled Kia Concept model at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. But this particular model is also believed to be more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly.

Kia has already revealed its intention on that matter, as Orth Hedrick, the chief at Kia America, has declared the arrival of the model soon enough. The news has been also confirmed by a new report launched in the air by Drive online auto magazine. According to the report, the final production of the Kia GT Concept will come with the same performance as the rear Concept, but instead, will feature a lot of interesting features inside, where the cabin will bring a fresh design as well as a lot of high-tech gizmos.
